Starting the vehicle
- To start the engine, the gear
selector has to be in position N.
- Press the brake pedal.
- Action the starter.
- When the engine is running,
select R, A or M as required.
- Check the position you have
engaged in the rev counter.
Engaging reverse gear
Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is completely station-
ary.
• When the vehicle is moving at
very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested (position R), this will
be taken into account only when
the vehicle stops.
The «foot on brake» warning
lamp may flash in the instrument
panel to remind you to brake.
• If vehicle is moving at high speed
and reverse gear is requested,
the warning lamp «N» will flash
and your vehicle will go automati-
cally into neutral. To re-engage a
gear, you have only to return the
gear selector to position A or M.
Note : If the vehicle has been
stationary for a long time, or if you
have pressed the brake pedal a
number of times while stationary,
it will be necessary to press the
brake pedal hard down in order to
authorise the engine to start.
Temporary manual mode
In automatic mode, a touch on the
controls under the steering wheel
«+» or «-» lets you change gear
immediately.
The warning lamp «AUTO»
remains displayed in the rev coun-
ter.
Note : A sound signal indicates
when reverse gear is engaged.
If parking assistance is deacti-
vated, the sound signal for reverse
gear engaged is absent.
In the absence of any new action,
automatic
mode
reactivates
depending on the driving condi-
tions.
